Rotorua will welcome you with the smell of rotten eggs for which its nickname is also "Rottenrua". The sulphur smell is omnipresent here so you shouldn't mind that too much. The city and its surroundings have much to offer and you'll find yourself in a geothermal wonderland exploring otherworldly places and learn more about Maori culture.
I assembled a 3 day itinerary for you so that you can make the most of your visit to Rotorua. Each day includes hotel recommendations, places to eat, activities and places to relax.

I've had the privilege to live in this beautiful country for more than 2 years during Covid and explore it thoroughly in my van.
The best way to make the most of your visit, is to travel by car/van to be able to get to all the places you want to visit and discover the more remote destinations as well.
My travel guides include popular destinations, off the beaten track spots and hidden gems, travel tips, hikes and to do's, the best free camps, other accommodation options and recommendations on where to eat.
To sum it up, everything you need to know to give you a great travel experience!
I will slowly add more and more guides here, so save this post to receive updates.
Enjoy reading! 🙂

My favourite part of the North Island for outdoor adventures in Aotearoa New Zealand! And it's totally underrated. Yes, Rotorua smells like sulphur... but that's because it's like, literally otherworldly.
While it's nice to visit in the summer, I love a winter getaway in Rotorua because it's easy to warm up at one of the hot springs.
Neither Rotorua nor Taupō are culinary destinations - but I've rounded up some decent places to eat and drink when you're in town.
